Here is what is going to happen. Software engineers from India WILL make software and what they make WILL make a profit becuase they are cheaper.

Our choice is to either get in on that action or be a victim of that action.

The best way to "protect" a job is to have a golbal adjusted economy and skills.

[QUOTE="Ninja-Hippo"][QUOTE="Ultimate-Playa"] Every job taken by an immigrant is a job not taken by an potential American. Just because we are a nation of immigrants doesn't mean the entire world should immigrate here.SEANMCAD

Although I actually support immigration becuase if you dont become a world community eventually the world will economically catch up anyway. I do think its important to point out that immigrates DONT only take jobs americans will not do.

I am a software developer and I can directly tell you that there are a lot of software developers from india here in the US and even more who wish they could. NO job is safe from global economic equalization.

[QUOTE="Ninja-Hippo"] . Also, the "they took our jobs" arguement is so archaic i'm surprised it's still even in existance.LosDaddie

You must not listen to the nutjobs on AM radio or watch Fox News much then. It's a common talking point.

That argument (while it does have some merit) is a cornerstone fo the Repub platform. And it's part of the reason why Repubs lost so badly on Nov 4th as Hispanics moved away from the Repub ticket.

[QUOTE="Ultimate-Playa"]LOL, re-read the article and it was about the democratic convention. I'm sure that it was also ghostwritten by that same writer who wrote his inaugural speech. From my article, In composing the high notes of the speech, Obama has leant on Favreau, whom he discovered almost by chance four years ago when the younger man was working on John Kerry's failed presidential bid. "Favs" has since studied Obama's speech patterns and cadences with the intensity of a stalker. He memorised the 2004 speech to the Democratic national convention which first brought Obama into the limelight. Engrish_Major

I am NOT impressed by elected presidents who can't write their own speeches and have to rely on others to do their job.
